Then again the official spec sheet says the card only has one 6-pin connector: https://www.evga.com/products/specs/...B-04223CB59D85

Maybe the adapter is just there to split one 8-pin connector into two 6-pin ones for people with some odd PSUs? Either way these adapters can be ignored when they're not needed and the power usage of the 1060 is not that high anyway. Again, provided the PSU is not a terribly cheap model that cannot really handle what it is designed for.

With the 1060 you should get quite a significant boost as well from the 730!
That's the wrong card, it's this one. Well actually they're exactly the same, except for the cooling and LED stuff after comparing them.

Yeah, I just got a cheap pre-built computer when I started going to school, so I would have something to do homework on and decently run games. As far as I can tell the current GC doesn't have a power cable, except for the fan from when I looked yesterday. So I would have to have to get an 8-pin cable to run from the PSU to the GC I guess? Unless there's some cables tucked away in there. Sorry for all the questions, but I've never really messed around with swapping out parts, except for RAM, so I don't want to mess anything up.
